Translators
needed

DVD
slideshow GUI needs your help for translating DVD slideshow GUI to your
language.The
easy way now to update/make new translations for DSG is by registering
at http://launchpad.netUnder
you new profile you need to set 'Your preferred languages' to your
language.Go
to this site: https://translations.launchpad.net/dvdslideshowgui/trunkNow
your
language should be among the languages available for translation and
you can start translating or update an existing translation.
There
is a tutorial on YouTube on how to translate in Launchpad here(but it
is not that hard): Here!
Thanks
for your support.

New
Powerful Video features

Avi
and avs (video) can now be
animated(Ken Burns), overlapped(negative
transition durations), overlayed(a transition for adding new slide on
top of the old one) and subtitled. A preview image will be visible in
the listcontrol/Slidesettings window/Animation window. In other words
videos can be handled like slides now whithout the previous
limitations.

It has been really difficult
and time consuming to add this stuff, but now DSG can be
used as a simple NLE when used with Avsp. Check out the tutorial on
trimming and cutting with Avsphere!

In the music listcontrol the right click menu has a new function
called 'Use Video Audio'. If this is checked music will fade in and out
around videoclips in the slideshow and if it is unchecked the music
will be played over video clips too and no audio from the videoclips
will be heard.

Version
0.9.3.3 Import of Power Point and Impress
presentations

Import of Power
Point(ppt) and Impress(odp) files are supported in DVD slideshow GUI.
However Open Office is needed for the process, so first you
must dowmload and install the free Open Office(I've only tested with v.
3.0 and v. 3.1). You can get it from here.

When DVD slideshow GUI is
started it will find Open Office if it is installed in the default
location or else you'll have to correct the path of Open Office in DVD
slideshow GUI > Slideshow > External
Applications. Now you should be able to import ppt and odp.

If you want to convert your
ppt/odb presentation to a remote-controllable-dvd you need to
install Gui
for dvdauthor
this can also be done by reinstalling DVD slideshow GUI and check Gui
for dvdauthor in the installer and it will be installed automatically.
When both programs are installed properly and the paths are set up in
the External Applications window, all you have to do
is DVD slideshow GUI > Files >
'Export to DVD Menus' and in 'Gui for dvdauthor' change the
look of the menus to your liking and finally hit 'Burn DVD'.

Version
0.9.2.0 Going HD/Bluray...

1080p
and 720p, authoring and
burn as Bluray supported. And I hope with this version DVD
slideshow GUI will run on Vista without too much trouble.

Version
0.86C Match Slideshow to Audio Duration

This new function
found in the 'Edit' menu, will calculate the duration of slides and
transitions to the duration of the audio.

When
exporting to .gfd(Gui for Dvdauthor) some nice transitions has been
added between the Main menu and the Album and Photo menus.

Version
0.86 Paint Slide, more motion backgrounds and colour looks

Version
0.85 Burn to DVD

Through optional download of ImgBurn it is
now possible to burn from DVD slideshow GUI.

Version
0.82 More motion backgrounds and transitions

12
new motion backgrounds with endless moving graphics(no
looping). They are made with Ffrend
with Free Frame
effects and exported as metaplugins which can be loaded with Avisynth
and therefore used as backgrounds in DVD slideshow GUI. Inside DVD
slideshow GUI just load the .avs files in the 'Backgrounds'
folder.

Version
0.79 Motion backgrounds and new transitions and effects

Avi
and avs can be used as motion backgrounds under 'Presets'.
The
new transitions includes Bars transitions (Dynasty
style... lol), more jpg transitions and a
mirror transition. The new posteffect is a mirror effect which will mirror
the lower part of the image like in water or steel. Take a look at a
demo with motion background and mirror here.

Version
0.78 New: Overlapping animations and videos

By using negative
transition durations now it's possible make overlapping animations and
videos.

Version
0.74 Export of pro-slideshow dvd with menus to Gui for dvdauthor

DVD
slideshow GUI now can export
a .gfd file with:-
Main menu(animated) with
button access to:- A rendered video slideshow with music,
texts and chapterpoints.-
Chaptermenus with
tumbnail-buttons to the video slideshow.- One photo/video
pr. submenu, so you can flip through photos/videos with your remote.

It
also supports export of videos, so this is a nice way to make a
video(musicvideos/trailers) compilation.Get
Gui for dvdauthor(GFD) here!
Just by
exporting your slideshow
in .gfd format and loading it up in Gui for dvdauthor, author it and
burn it - you will have a pro-looking slideshow DVD with menus:

Version
0.72 Storyboard

In version
0.72 two new export funtions are added. One which
will let you export in a storybord layout html page with can be printet
from your browser with correct pagebreaks. Take a look at an example here.
This will
come in handy if you are working with animatics or just need to set up
a storyboard.(videos and animations will not be added).

The
other new feature is exporting all images (with backgrounds and texts -
if wanted) as bmp images, this will come in handy if you are going to
set up a one image pr. menu in GUI for DVDauthor/Muxman.

Note: DVD
slideshow GUI is a user interface for great free tools
like Avisynth, Dvdauthor, HCenc, Media Player Classic, FFmpeg,
Flvtool2, Mplex, Demux, mkisofs ect. and is coded in wxBasic. It comes
as an installer with all the nessesary files included.

Welcome!

DVD
slideshow GUI offers very simple ways to make advanced slideshows for
ex. YouTube, DVD or Blu-Ray out of ex. photos, videos or PowerPoint
presentations.
